4.6 ´The empty breath´ is empty space and so is what you believe to be (in the process of being updated)

What you believe to be and see is nothing but empty space. Thus not being and seeing something specific is a blissful revelation of emptiness. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

The empty breath does not know about time and space, and since the world where we believe to be is based on that concept, neither does it know what and where we believe to be. This is not because the empty breath is very spiritual, but because it just like everything else that seems to be something is nothing, since there is nothing outside of spirituality as it is formless and therefore without beginning or end, For the same reason there is there nothing specific in it.

In other words, there is no world defined by time and space. Yet based on how the brain processes nothing into something, we believe to be somebody definitive experiencing a world defined by time and space.

This experience, however, is just a cover-up for us being the same nothingness as the empty breath. The only reason we believe to experience something instead of nothing is that the brain renders fragments of nothingness into a tangible world, which it confirms as real by rendering others fragment into somebody substantial. This is, of course, a trick, because there are no fragments of nothing to render into anything. Read more about that here.

It is not possible to be something specific, because reality is oneness and since it is formless and therefore endless, there is no more than the formlessness of oneness. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

Thus it is only the belief, that you are someone substantial in a tangible world, that seems to separate you from the nothingness unprocessed by the brain. But whether nothingness is processed by the brain or not, the experience of it is equally illusionary. Thus the empty breath has not something but nothing to give you, which is like walking on clouds of bliss.

Yet, that is just as illusionary as the experience of a tangible world, where you and Alexius appear to be substantial appearances separated by time and space.

You can read about the illusionary nature of any experience in the below articles:

The connectedness with the empty breath, however, is so closely related with the basic contrast making up the consciousness of you as someone definitive, namely expansion and contraction, that a continuous connection with the empty breath cancels out this contrast (read more about that here), so the brain cannot uphold the conscious experience of you as someone definitive, wherefore there is nobody to believe that nothing can be turned into something.

Hence there is not something in the world where you experience to be that disappears in the connection with the empty breath, except the belief that you are someone definitive having these experiences, wherefore there is nobody to confirm their apparent differences to make a difference, and thus nothing to support it as real.

There is nobody in a dream and nobody is making it. The graphic is grabbed from the web.

But if you want to appear as if you are still someone substantial in the tangible world fabricated by the brain, it is not possible to continue being connected with the empty breath for more than 20 minutes, 45 at most (read more about that here, because in its rhythmic flow all contrasts are cancelled out, so the brain has nothing to work with, wherefore it falls into coma, if you do not support it by you seeking out specific thoughts and feelings that confirm you are a separated being in a world of duality, for example by sending love and healing to others.

Should you wonder who seeks out thoughts and feelings or who is wondering about this, the answer is nobody, because there is nobody in empty space. Just like there is nobody in a dream or anybody making it. Neither is the dream in the one appearing to dream it since there is nothing in it. Read more about this in the intro to the empty breath.

To make long short, what you believe to be in a world defined by time and space is a construction of thoughts automatically processed by the brain from out of nothing as if they represent something substantial. Thus you cannot connect with the nothingness of the empty breath, unless you are willing to have this belief in something undone.

That is why it is best not interpret it from a material point of view when the swing ofthe empty breath is described as something inside the body (see the paragraph of the same name in the next article What does ´the empty breath´ feels like?), because it is not something definitive in a specific place (see the paragraph The transparent sound ofthe empty breath in the next article What does ´the empty breath´ feels like?).

Also be aware that the description of the empty breath in that article is written by someone who is to be compared to the enlightenment of that which is one, which means that just like the concepts of the world in a game like Monopoly, for example, are acknowledged but not believed to be real, the concept of the contrasts that seem to twist empty space into elements like inside and outside, are acknowledged but not believed to be real.

In regards to the experience of the empty breath it is, therefore, best to deal with the definitive terms like inside and outside as metaphors for nothing.*

The graphic, which is grabbed from the web, has been manipulated by Alexius.

In the next article you can read more detailed about the circles in this image, that graphically illustrates a few of the non-definitive circles within the empty breath.

None of the non definitive circles though are outside of you as in this image, which rather reflects the idea the special self has of the empty breath, namely that it is something you as somebody extraordinary is in charge of. Read more about the special self here.

Yet you are not in charge of anything, because there is not something in the world where you believe to be, nor is what you believe to be there, since there is no more than that which is one, as it is formless and therefore endless.

This does not describe the empty breath. It is not formless but nothing. And that is why it is your way back to the formlessness of oneness – or rather your way to see, that there is no more than the formlessness of oneness, because in the continuous connectedness with it the empty breath, differences do not appear to make a difference, so there is no separation to hide, there is no more than that which is one.

This is not a realisation of oneness. It cannot be realised, as it takes more than to realise something. But when the belief, that it is possible to be and have more than that which is one is completely undone, which it is after 20 minutes, 45 at most, in a state of not-knowing (read more about that here), every single memory of a world where there seems to be more than one is gone, so there is not something appearing to hide what has been or will be more than that which is one.

*) This is not to be understood, as if the apparent physical border of the body never should be taken literally. In fact, it is very important to take it seriously, as long as it appears as if you are in it.

Welcome to the present version of Alexius´ Enlightened Non-Teachings

At the beginning of writing Alexius´ Enlightened Non-Teachings, new articles were published almost daily. Most of them, however, were not proofread. Alexius could not do it because he did not understand them. Nor does he nowadays. Fortunately, because if he did, they would be real.

Thus it is a metaphor when saying, the writing of them has conjured up a flow that facilitates the fine-tuning of the past articles so currently, he spends more time on this than writing new ones.

Yet, in the process of doing this, new articles come into being. They are continually added to the table of contents, where the old ones are updated or in the process of being it.

WHAT TO DO
As there is no more than that which is one, a world where there seems to be more than one is not real, but a simulated reality layered on top of oneness. Thus nothing needs to be changed but the belief that you are someone there.

HACKING THE BELIEF IN BEING SOMEONENot knowing what and where you are is the fastest way to undo the belief in being someone, as this is the invitation the enlightenment of that which is one patiently is waiting for.

In no time you go from appearing to be someone definitive to not appear at all so that there is nothing to hide the formlessness of that which is one (hack #4-7).

TO BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF IT
If you want to appear a little longer in the world without being of it and therefore not being burdened by its apparent problems, you pretend to be there, because what you pretend to be you are not (hack #1).

When every experience is perceived to symbolise non-duality, you are a symbol of that and not a manifestation of duality (hack #2).

Not being exclusive but inclusive, there is nothing to define you, so even though you appear to be there, you are not (hack #3).

Acknowledging you are alone together (hack #8) is another way of appearing to be in a world of separation without being of it.

Connecting with the inner breath (hack #4) you do not perceive the apparent differences of the world to make a difference so you cannot be established as someone in it.

WHERE TO START
Read Alexius´ Enlightened Non Teachings from start to finish or browse them in any way beneficial for unlearning what and where you believe to be. If that is the motivation for reading, one or more of the duality hacks will apply themselves.

This you will not see, because the result of them is nothing. Hence there is not something, that seems to cause problems.
